Chapter 130 Caught Off Guard
At this time, the soldiers of the Corporate Joint Forces and the DCPD police officers who were in charge of the security of Dawn City were yawning in boredom.
The Dawn City Council is a rather grand complex of buildings, and it can be regarded as the absolute center and landmark building in the entire Dawn City. The Council Headquarters Building in particular is one of the tallest buildings in the entire Dawn City, and it looks magnificent.
After all, the Dawn City Council is the highest authority in the entire Dawn City and a symbol of the Silver Star Federation's status in Dawn City.
Such a key location would have sufficient security forces on a regular basis. Not only was there a unit of the Corporate Alliance stationed there all year round, but the DCPD police headquarters was also nearby. If there was a problem, the DCPD special operations team could respond at lightning speed.
However, the two soldiers of the Corporate Alliance who were patrolling at this time were yawning and chatting.
"The space-time activity seems to be stronger. The connection of the hash space has been completely cut off. I don't know what the battle situation outside is like."
"It shouldn't be a problem. With Commander Tours here, it shouldn't be a problem to wipe out the remnants of the Spacetime Knights."
"Ah, I don't know whether I should be happy or disappointed. If we were also on the front line , maybe we could also gain some merits. Although we won't be able to get a place in the Silver Star immigration, at least we can be promoted in rank and strive to stay in the group headquarters, instead of doing this kind of hard work of being sent abroad all the time."
" Come on, do you really want to go to war with those lunatics of the Space-Time Knights? Your life is more important. We are already doing a good job that many people envy. There is no safer and more leisurely job in the entire Dawn City."
"That's right, don't think too much and wait for the order from your superiors."
The two Cartel soldiers dropped the subject and continued patrolling Dawn City Council.
Apparently most of the Cartel soldiers and DCPD officers thought the same way.
Dawn City Council should be the safest place in the entire Dawn City.
Although the Corporate Alliance was fighting the Time and Space Knights in the wilderness outside Dawn City, the Corporate Alliance had superior military strength and almost no one had considered the possibility of losing.
Even if the corporate coalition forces were defeated in the battle, they could evacuate in an orderly manner and rely on the peripheral facilities of Dawn City to resist. The Time and Space Knights are not yet strong enough to attack the corporate coalition forces head-on and destroy the entire Dawn City.
Even if there might be a small-scale attack, the other party would not choose to attack the Dawn City Council. After all, everyone knows that the Dawn City Council is the most heavily guarded place in the entire city.
Judging from past experience, the Time and Space Knights would most likely choose their targets in densely populated civilian areas.
Unless these people are crazy, the possibility of a head-on attack on the Dawn City Council is very small.
Therefore, these corporate soldiers and DCPD police officers do the safest, most leisurely, and best-condition jobs. They don't have to worry about the danger of fighting here, and they can also enjoy the best supplies. It is a lucrative job that many people envy.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, as if there was a miniature earthquake, and even the ground where the two Enterprise Army soldiers were patrolling was shaking slightly!
The two soldiers were stunned and did not react for a while. They looked in the direction where the vibration came from. It was still a long distance away from the Dawn City Council, so they could not determine the exact location where the vibration occurred.
However, the occurrence of this degree of vibration is itself a rather abnormal thing.
"what's the situation?"
The two soldiers were a little puzzled. They had never encountered such a thing before and thought that there might be a small earthquake nearby that affected Dawn City.
But what they didn't know was that this was not a small earthquake, but three priests of the Spacetime Knights used spacetime particles to create a large spacetime rift underground, directly corroding a large hole in the entire ground!
On a street in the inner city, the ground suddenly cracked. A space-time rift appeared out of nowhere and continued to expand, tearing the entire rift further apart.
Many space-time creatures emerged from the space-time rifts. These space-time creatures crawled out of the rifts and onto the streets, and immediately began to run rampantly in all directions.
However, the space-time rift created by the three priests was mainly to tear the surface, so there were not many high-level space-time creatures appearing in the rift. But even so, these space-time creatures still caused some disturbances.
Dawn City had imposed martial law on all streets, so there were not many pedestrians on the streets. Most people could only stay at home and could not go out. Except for the DCPD police cars and the corporate joint army responsible for maintaining law and order patrolling the streets, the entire street seemed deserted.
But the sudden space-time rift at this moment quickly plunged the street into chaos!
A patrolling police car happened to hit a space-time creature that crawled out of a crack. The space-time creature quickly climbed onto the roof of the car and began to corrode the body of the police car.
This police officer had obviously never seen such a scene. He spent most of his time maintaining law and order in Dawn City. At most, he had dealt with some street gangs. He had never been to the wild and rarely saw time and space creatures. He was caught off guard in an instant, and the police car crashed into the guardrail on the side of the road.
At the moment when this space-time rift appeared, the police cars and hovercrafts patrolling nearby all noticed the abnormality and rushed over here quickly.
The rift disappeared quickly and did not last long, because maintaining the rift also required a large number of space-time particles. At this time, the mission of the rift had been completed, and the passage from the underground to the surface had been opened.
The three priests, Grantham, Meredith and Ferdinand, with the members of the Time and Space Knights lurking in Dawn City, began to head straight towards the Dawn City Council.
The two priests, Meredith and Ferdinand, had also contacted the knights who had been lurking in Dawn City through special means, and the team of sixty or seventy people quickly gathered together.
Judging from the number, there are not many people in the Space-Time Knights, and they are quite insignificant in front of the entire Dawn City's defense force.
But their target is directly aimed at the highest authority in the entire Dawn City, the Dawn City Council!
The goal of this operation is very simple. They want to create a time and space event in the Dawn City Council and cause as much damage as possible!
…
At this time, several soldiers from the Corporate Alliance who were responsible for guarding the main gate of the Dawn City Council also noticed that something was wrong. They all clenched their guns and looked nervously in the direction of the riot.
However, they still didn't think that the other side would choose the Dawn City Council as the location of the attack, so although they were a little nervous, they were still not prepared for a fight.
It was not until they saw the knights and priests of the Knights of Time and Space, accompanied by a large number of time and space creatures, breaking directly into the main gate of the Dawn City Council that these soldiers realized in panic that those lunatics of the Knights of Time and Space had really chosen the Dawn City Council as their target of attack!
"Go and ask for support!"
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the surging space-time creatures poured into the main gate of the Dawn City Council like a tide. The soldiers responsible for guarding the main gate only fired a few shots in haste before they were swallowed up by the space-time creatures.
The three priests and their knights forced their way in, completely ignoring the soldiers' counterattacks.
Meredith concentrated on controlling a level 5 energy fluctuation space-time creature to rush in, and said excitedly: "They really didn't expect us to choose the parliament as our target. The defense on the scene seems to be very lax!"
Grantham, who was controlled by Chen She, shook his head slightly. "We can't let our guard down now. We have only broken through their first line of defense."
"There must be experts guarding the Dawn City Council, but they can't arrive in such a short time. We must complete our plan before they do."
The two priests nodded and said nothing more, but continued to follow Grantham into the headquarters building of the Dawn City Council.
Although the Corporate Alliance has already mobilized most of its high-end combat power outside the city to confront the Time and Space Knights headquarters head-on, there must be some experts from the Corporate Alliance and DCPD in Dawn City.
These people are scattered throughout Dawn City, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.
Moreover, the DCPD headquarters is not far from the Dawn City Council. There are some very capable senior police officers there who will arrive soon as they receive the news.
Although these three priests are quite powerful, they are at most above-average in terms of combat power in the Knights of Time and Space. If they encounter real masters, they will not be able to hold out for long.
So they must race against time and complete their goal as soon as possible.
The two priests, Meredith and Ferdinand, followed behind Grantham. They were very shocked to find that Grantham seemed to have investigated the Dawn City Council and was very familiar with the environment here. He ran directly to the headquarters building of the Dawn City Council without any pause in between!
This incident made them look at Grantham with new eyes again.
You have to know that the members of the Time and Space Knights are basically rats in the gutter. Although they often come to the ground to recruit some innocent ordinary people to become their followers, most of the time they have to hide from DCPD police officers in the city and dare not act too rampantly.
Therefore, the activities of most members of the Space-Time Knights are limited to a part of the outer city area, and they have no chance to enter the inner city because the risk is too great.
As for the Dawn City Council, there is even less chance of getting in.
The Liming City Council headquarters is a huge building complex. In addition to the headquarters building, there are many other subdivisions. The interior of the building is intricate and there are specific passages from different entrances. Although the headquarters building is within sight, it is still a bit troublesome to get there.
If it is your first time here, you can only grit your teeth and rush in. Not only will you take a lot of detours, but you may also be surrounded and blocked by the corporate coalition forces and be completely trapped inside.
But at this time they found that the route Grantham took them was the best route, because the speed was fast enough, so they did not encounter too many obstacles along the way. The space-time beast tide composed of space-time creatures was like a black torrent, instantly engulfing those soldiers who had not yet fully reacted!
The entire Dawn City Council was filled with alarm calls, but in such a chaotic situation, neither the soldiers of the Corporate Alliance nor the police officers of the DCPD were able to effectively lock onto the location of the Knights of Time and Space. They could only follow the remaining black marks on the ground and chase after them reluctantly.
Moreover, they had no idea what the real goal of the Time and Space Knights was, so they could only run around like headless flies.
There are many key buildings in the headquarters of the Liming City Council. The conference building of the headquarters is where councillors at all levels meet, but there is no meeting at this time, so the building is basically empty.
In addition, the headquarters of the Dawn City Council also has regular office agencies, data archives and various other supporting agencies. Many of these agencies are still in operation, so the Corporate Alliance and DCPD, without knowing the true intentions of the Knights of Time and Space, can only prioritize protecting these targets where people are still present. On the contrary, there is no defense force in the conference building.
Chen She controlled Grantham and led everyone directly to the conference building, to the place where he had held the meeting!
The smooth journey shocked the two priests. In their impression, no operation had ever been as smooth as this one!
Although there were many soldiers fighting bravely and shooting at them crazily along the way, the people of the Spacetime Knights, under the cover of the Spacetime Beast Tide, ignored them. If there were really pursuers catching up, they would send out a few knights to cover their retreat, as long as they could delay them for a while.
As they arrived at the conference building, they were already very close to their destination.
But at this moment, several PCPD hovercrafts quickly arrived, flew over these people, and began firing wildly.
"DCPD reinforcements have arrived so fast!"
"After all, the DCPD headquarters is nearby."
Meredith and Ferdinand were a little panicked because the people from the Time and Space Knights had secretly sneaked into Dawn City and could not have carried heavy weapons. At this time, the hovercraft was flying in the sky and shooting at them crazily, and they had no chance of counterattack at all.
Chen She was not panicked. He had anticipated all this and said to Gao Jingwu, "Stop these people temporarily and cover us to enter the building."
Gao Jingwu didn't say much, just nodded and turned around and rushed over with his brothers.
Meredith and Ferdinand had seen how fearless these knights under Grantham were. With their abilities on the verge of losing control, each of them could become a time bomb of terrifying power. Although it was impossible to shoot down all these hovercrafts, as long as they could interfere with them to a certain extent, they could cover a small number of people to break into the conference building.
Although these two priests also have many subordinates who are willing to sacrifice their lives at any time, it is difficult to train such knights. However, almost every knight in Grantham has this awareness, which is quite shocking!
